Arriva North East: New buses 2022
(13 Aug 2022, 9:02 pm)Storx Rumours to be a mass displacement of things to see off all the B7's at Ashington, Jesmond, Durham and Redcar/Whitby. How and what going where is just a guess.

At least they've kept with the e-leather, so much nicer and hygienic than the moquette GNE switched to
When do the new Enviro 200 MMC's arrive and what routes are they for? Would be nice for the 57 as most of the solos on there are pretty bad and unreliable.

(25 Aug 2022, 7:56 pm)RobinHood Five of the fourteen are going to Ashington, yes. This was confirmed internally.
The remaining 9 are for (on paper - the 55(3) and the 46/51(5) +1 spare).
The 555 and 553 don't need CAZ compliant vehicles. I understand 2601-2603 are being kept for these.
If the 55 or 46 does go, then that will probably convert the 553/555 to E200, as they won't want to split the vehicle batch any more than already planned.

Noted at least 3 of the new ADL Enviro 200MMCs on delivery on the Heworth Bypass this morning, however I couldn't catch up to them due to getting held up at the traffic lights at the Heworth Interchange.
(13 Aug 2022, 7:27 pm)mb134 Picture of the gear selector on Facebook seems to confirm them as Voith, not ZF (as posts on the same page seemed to suggest). Assume the local management are happy with how the Voith gearboxes are doing in 7541-52 and so have went with the same again.I've only just seen this. What's the difference between a Voith and ZF gear selector?
Understand that quite a few standard E400s have had lots of recurring issues with their ZF gearboxes (7530 as an example), so this could be another factor in the decision making.

Will all of the new busses have next stop announcements for all the X routes they’ll run on or just the x21/x22?
(26 Aug 2022, 9:40 pm)mb134 None of the current batch as the ones I've seen are on social media pages, therefore can't easily be uploaded here.Hmmmm interesting!
There is a picture of a 17-plate Arriva MMC here though (selector on RHS of dash - note the Voith on the neutral):
The original(?) demo looks to have been equipped with a ZF, looking at this picture of it's time with GNE and comparing it to the ZF gear selector found in 'older' Arriva E400s:

(26 Aug 2022, 9:17 pm)Aaron21 Arriva Driver has confirmed tonight that he saw 2 small ADL Enviro 200MMC in the new Arriva livery at Jesmond Depot.
Has confirmation they are not visible from the road

(27 Aug 2022, 5:16 pm)reymyster9 I wonder if they'll actually be updated or if it'll end up similar to other vehicles where they're extremely out of date?

(27 Aug 2022, 10:18 pm)StevenW456 i somewhat doubt they’ll have next stop announcements for anything other than the x21/x22 anyways never heard any on the x14/x15/x18/x20 before despite them having the displays in some of the busses.

(27 Aug 2022, 10:43 pm)Storx None of the buses on the X14/X15/X18/X20 have NSA's so they haven't been set up. (on paper at least).
Every route now should have NSA's excluding the 1 and 2 but the spare Enviro 200 MMC will no doubt end up on them anyway so they all need done now. If the Enviro 200's has NSA's anyway. I'm not actually sure, anyone confirm?
